Local businesses and residents have the opportunity to have their names emblazoned on a new mural that will be created at Granville Athletic Park. Sponsorship levels range from $1,000 to $7,500 – each tier offers a different level of prominence and visibility, giving the donors a chance to have their contributions visible to the thousands of visitors that visit the GAP each year.
“The GAP has such an amazing history, and we are always looking for ways to honor the citizens and organizations that have made this park what it is today,” said Assistant County Manager Korena Weichel.
The mural will be installed later this year on the outside wall of the shelter facility in Phase III of the GAP, near the accessible playground, tennis courts and sand volleyball area that opened in 2021, according to a press release from Granville County Public Information Officer Terry Hobgood.
The GAP opened in 2004 and since that time, it has become a popular destination for recreation for Granville County residents and many others. The park consists of miles of paved walking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course that weaves through tall pines and hardwoods, ball fields framed by foliage, an outdoor amphitheater perfect for showcasing special open-air performances and an outdoor classroom. Other features at the GAP include numerous amenities like the large sports pavilion, picnic shelters, children’s musical sound garden, outdoor fitness equipment, spray park, and a Storywalk® display.
